I thought some of their comments were very mature considering their age.  This suggests that I perhaps underestimated our target audience and should have expected more from them.  This would have affected our piece had we known the extent of their understanding previously as we could have used more sophisticated language and more mature storylines to explore and harder questions to think about.  If we were to explore gender equality again as a piece of TiE, I think it would be interesting to try an older target audience as it would be more challenging for us to gather all the research.  We found that our audience, although they knew basic manners and a couple of them had a basic understanding about equality and sexism, they hadn’t been introduced to this topic either in school or at home and I think that influenced our work and made us underestimate them even more than just the age of them.
